cure certain amount of toleration
from the educated thoughtful classes
in Russia. The czar advisers are con-
vinced from long observations that
influential classes in Russia do not
consider the time has yet arrived in
the political development OF the en-
pire for introduction OF the constitu-
tional government by his majesty, nor
do the Pan Slavic party desire con-
stitutionalism. Onthe contrary they de-
clare that on antocratic form OF govern
ment, tempered by u just adminstra-
ton of the codefed law, is desired un
til Russian territorial expansion has
reached by limits sit for it for Pan
Slavic ideas.
Socialism recently promoted in Ger
many by Prince Bismarck is being
carefully studied by the Russian gov
ernment, the czar being we'll disposed
in favor Of such progressive economic
changes in the territory under which
Russia has away rs shall conducc to
the happiness and welfare of the Rus
sian people. The czar was deeply i'm
pressed by the terrible circumstances
WbiSii iiio iIOV hio hChlil'
The last attempt upon his own life pro.
jected by nihilists produced feeling
of horror. Still it is unlikely it will
lead TO change of his previous policy.
His majesty cannot but view with
mingled bitterness and regret the posi-
ton in which he is placed by
troubles and perils continually be-
setting him. He deplores the necessity
which constantly exists for costly and
extensive preventions for his personal
safety when he desires to travel or
even move beyond the precincts of
his palace, the restrictions which i'm
pede his movements and prevent his
seeing his people as they are and
judging for himself concerning their
needs. The lczar's aversions to plung-
ing Russia into ruinous and fruitless
war continues as great as ever. No
change in his convictions in this re-
spect is expected by his advisors ex-
cept in conformity with his views on
Russia's imperial interests.

FayOrs The New Law.

BOSTON, March l9.-Chas. Francis
Adams, president OF the Union Pacific
railroad delivered an address tonight
before the Commercial Club. He de-
clared that in all the departments OF
the Union Pacific fair, honest, intel
ligent and reasonable explanation
should be given every provision of the
interstate commerce law and the re-
suits left to speak for themselves. He
acknowledged there were many abuses
in the railway system that should be
remedied by legislation. He defended
the long and short haul provision, say
ing it was just and should be law. In
regard to the provision prohibiting
rebates, drawbacks, secret arrange
ments he did not hesitate
to put himself on record
as saying it was just and should be
law. He declared the free pass sys-
tenn IN outrageous abuse and a most
radical remedy should be applied to it.
He declared the greatest defect in the
law was the prohibiting pooling. He
defended the pooling system and as
serted it benefited the people as we'll
as the railroad.

The Anarchist Case.

CHICAGO, March 1S.-A News spec
ial from Ottawa, ILL.,, says: Speaking
OF possibilities in relation to a decision
in the anarchist case, Judge Schofield,
of the supreme court, said to q News
representative this evening that in
the case of reversal and ordering Of a
new trial the opinion of the court
would be sent here and would be made
public as soon as it is arrived at, but
in case the decision of the lower court
is affirmed the public will not be ap-
prised of the fact until court meets
again at Ottawa, which will be in Sep
tember next. In case of affirmation
the court must fix the date of execution
and must do it i'll open court and in
the district where the case belongs.
Court will adjourn its session here next
week and it is of course impossible for

just Retrib ution.

CHICAGO, March ia Times spe-
cial from Hastings, Nebraska. says.
DIR. W. w. Randall, of this city was
arrested Wednesday night for COM
mitting rape upon the person OF Miss
Hart, of Edman, an eleven year old
girl, who was placed under his care Tor
treatment The crime was committed
one week ago and to-day he was ar
raigned. Just after the examination
closed and Randall had been placed
under 5000 bonds brother of the
girl pulled out revolver and before
any person was aware of his intention
shot Randall dead. He then turned
and walked out of the court and disap-
peared and no person has taken the
trouble to go for him as the shooting
is looked upon as justifiable. From
the evidence produced it appears as
though Randall andl his wife, who was
on trial with him, have made it q
practice to ruin young girls and place
them in houses of ill.fame. Mrs. Ran
dali is now in the custody of the
sheriff. She is quartered in her
boarding house which is surrounded
by a large mob who, although not
violent, seems determined to DO
something desperate, and the chances
are that before to-morrow's sun shines
she will have followed her husband

the court to examine the bulky record
and return an opinion before
adjournment. 1t necessarily follows
that it will be impossible for the
anarchists to be hanged before next fall.
The sentence cannot be affirmed and
the day of execution fixed before the
first Tuesday in September. About q
month would doubtless be allowed be-
tween the affirmation and day of exc
cution. The reds need therefore have
no fear of being hanged before
October Judge Scott is expected to
return from California about April LIST,
and he will participate in deciding the
case. Since the arguments have been
made the prevailing opinion here
seems to be that the verdict in the
court below will be sustained by the
supreme court. Mr.. Sweet returned
to Chicago at 4 o'clock. Other coun-
Gil will return in the morning

may say that arrangements for the re-
organization of the Pittsburg Il West

The Raging Missouri.

BISMARCK, March 19.-Thc gorge
at Sibley island is intact in spite CT
dynamite. The scene here to-day is
desolate and dreary. The river is still
over six miles in width. The gorge at
Sibler island is holding the water to
the highest point that it reached yes
terday. All last night a swinging
light was seen in the woods and sew
eral vain attempts were made to send
a rescuing party to their rescue. The
light was q signal of distress from a
settler who, it is learned this morning
by looking through a field glass, has
been on top of his stack of hay since
the rising OF the water swinging a
lantern in hopes Of calling help. The
stack is completely surrounded by
water and two miles from the shore of
the new made stream and almost
afioat. Two rescuing parties were
sent out this morning and have found
several families on roofs of houses.
The field glass is being used with good
results and numerous settlers have
been discovered, some on trees and
others on floating timbers. To-day a
snow storm prevails. The current
over the new made channel is running
ten miles per hour and drift ice shoots

A Great Invention.

New YORK, March 1S.-The super
intendent OF the motive power of the
New York Central Railroad said this
afternoon the trial of the steam car
heating apparatus which was made
yesterday, on the train running from
Peekskill to this city demonstrated
the feasibility of the scheme. The
trouble OF connecting pipes between
cars was overcome by the use Of q
brass telescope and ball and socket
joint. Steam is used direct from the
locomotive boiler through pressure
reducing valve and strain of five
pounds is carried on the pipes. The
main difficulties hitherto encountered
in adopting steam heating on railroads
has heen in connecting pipes between
the cars and in reducing the pressure
of steam.

BUFFALO, March 1S.-Tho Rich
mond Hotel and st. James hall were
burned early this morning. Loss,
$5OO,OOO. The building was situated
on the corner of Main and Eagle
streets, extending through to Wash
ington street. The fire was discovered
at $3.50 o'clock this morning in the
new Richmond Hotel. The house con-
tanned large number of guests, and
their heart rending shrieks could
plainly be heard. A large number of
them were unable to effect their escape.
AS far as can be ascertained the dead
are as follows: Katie Vent, Minnie
Kelly and Katie Pearce,
servants; Wilson Purcell, Mark
Osborne, day clerk ut the
hotel, Mr. Johnston, Toronto rail-
way man Kate Wolf, servant of Lock

fact that at least thirty persons
perished. The total loss by fire will

citizens was held at the Mel lchants
Exchange this afternoon to take ac-
ton in favor of the removal of electric

CHICAGO, March ia Times
special from Douglas, Wyoming, says (:
Particulars have just been received
here of the robbery of United States
army paymaster d. N. Bush, of 81 800
at Antelope s prings. Major Bush
was en- route to Fort Kinney to pay
off the troops and stopped at Antelope
springs to eat dinner, leaving his va
lse containing the money in the
coach which stood few steps from
the building and in plain view of the
major and his escort as they sat at
the table. During the progress of the
meal stranger who had arrived at
the station that morning and was
present when the stage came, ran to
the stage and seized the valise, jumped
on horse standing near and was off
like the wind The paymaster's party
sprang for their guns and ran out
firing several shots ut the flying des-
perado without effect. Mounting the
stage horses they followed the fugitive
who turned in his saddle and fired sew
eral shots which were returned by the
pursuers with interest. The robbers
horse, however, was superior to those
on which the paymaster's party was
mounted and was soon lost to sight On
following his trail the valise from
which the robbcr had removed the
money was found, also pair Of pants
minus one leg evidently used by the
fugitive as sack in which
to carry the cash. The thief is known
to be cow boy named Charles Parker,
who has been until recently, on ranch
on Cheyenne river. The money taken
is $3.50, silver, the balance in bills.
Major Bush offers reward of $1,000
for the capture of the robber or return

Treating Consumptives.

PHILADELPHIA, March 1S-At a
meeting of the hospital committee Of
the Board of Guardian OF the Poor to-
day, Dr. Il. N. Mclaughlin, physician
of the chief Philadelphia hospital, pre-
sented report OF the success OF the
treatment adopted about month ago
for patients in the institution suffering
from consumption. He said that so
far the success Of the treatment was al
most marvellous and in cases which
had agreed to submit to the methods
adopted no other has been used. DR..
Mclaughlin first obtained the idea
read from apaper before the college of
science at the recent meeting in Paris
by one OF the professors in the univer-
sty of Lyons. Itwas recommended so
highly and had shown such
surprising results in France that DR..
Mclaughlin decided to test it in the
hospital. He explained the treatment
to patients. Thirty OF them agreed to
submit to the operation. To three
patients who were considered to be
suffering from the last stages of con-
sumption two rectal injections OF car
bolic acid gas, prepared by the process
given by the French physician, were
given each day. All medicine being
absorbed, patients at once began to
show signs of improvement. The night
sweat increased as ii by magic. The
almost constant painc from which they
suffered vanished, the exccrations of tn,
body were regular and became natura
and the appetite returned.
